UNSPSC 50305806: Autumn pride plums

The variety of plums known as autumn pride plums

UNSPSC 50305806 Autumn pride plums, a Commodity code, covers fresh fruit supply to state and local institutions — primarily correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, and senior services — where the code is deployed alongside broader produce procurement. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers sourcing individual fruit varieties (petite bananas, autumn pride plums) or full-spectrum fresh produce assortments (apples, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, citrus) through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITN notice types. Scope spans weekly or bi-weekly deliveries to centralized food warehouses, institutional dining facilities, and distributed school sites, with vendor responsibility for HACCP plans, food-safety compliance, temperature-controlled transport, and often quality guarantees including replacement of damaged or rotten items at no cost to the institution. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, county boards of education, health-care coalitions, head-start programs, and municipal senior services divisions.

The code sees the heaviest recent activity in Georgia and Texas, with additional procurement across Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for facility food warehouses at Palestine and Snyder (IW267376 and IW267420, both due October 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District requesting bids on petite bananas for school food service (RFB 4162, $78,000 annual value, due July 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking fresh-produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a one-year small-business set-aside contract (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 2026), and DeSoto County School District procuring fresh produce across 41 school sites on a cost-plus-fee basis with 97% service-level requirements (due June 2026). School districts dominate the market, with state corrections and mental-health facilities, county boards of education, and municipal food-service operations providing secondary volume; cooperative purchasing vehicles and local-vendor preferences worth 5–10 evaluation points appear in multiple Georgia and Texas school procurements.
